The Children’s Art Studio Richmond / Taller de Arte Para Niños Richmond seeks Impact Project Grant funding to expand its impactful arts programming for young learners (ages 2-5) and their families. This expansion will nurture children’s creativity and social-emotional development by providing safer spaces for artistic exploration, fostering critical thinking and collaboration, and integrating diverse artistic practices with bilingual instruction. Specifically, this funding will support inter-related key initiatives: significantly expanding our workshop offerings to reach more families, developing and piloting crucial trauma-informed art workshops, and bolstering our professional development program for early childhood educators. These initiatives directly address our core service areas, forming the foundation of our expanded plan of action.
